HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
COMFORT OUR HEARTS WITH PEACE: REARRANGE
MONDAY, WEEK TWO: PEACE
Now that we have decluttered, let’s rearrange our rooms and our priorities to nurture the tenderness and comfort of the Peace of God in Christ. How do you envision your room of Peace? Would you have a space for writing, a view for inspiration, a place for prayer? Would you add more comfort, warmth, silence, music, simplicity, or…? What would you rearrange to nourish your heart, calm your soul, and bring greater peace?
~~~~~~~~~~
Today I envision my comfortable couch where Jesus and I sit close together. We begin in silence, for I am contented to simply abide in his companionship, and he knows my every concern. But soon I find myself spilling my soul to him, sharing my worries, asking for help. Jesus quietly, attentively listens. And when I grow silent again, he takes my hand.
He is with me. This is all I need to know.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
(Isaiah 41:10)
~~~~~~~~~~
Where do you envision spending time with God in Christ this week? May we allow more of the quiet spaces in our hearts and our days to be attentive to Christ’s caring presence–the presence which brings our true Peace.

Great post Karen! I easily envisioned you and Jesus talking and sitting. A great reminder that God is always with us. I like to spend time sitting or laying in bed within the silence. Sometimes I use my phone for inspiration, other times a physical book or my Bible. In the summer, I like to be out in nature experiencing God all around me or driving in my car on a country road with little to no traffic and have the windows down singing along with the radio praising God. As always, thank you for sharing and your devotion. ✝️🩷💚💜

Such an interesting question and thought. I don’t know what I envision. It is so hard for me to really comprehend that Jesus would simply sit with me. That closeness and companionship. Would I even be able to invite him (my holy Heavenly father) to sit beside me? Good food for thought…….

Thank you for your honest thoughts… yes, the thought of that closeness is humbling, difficult to fathom at times, isn’t it? Such love…
